There are three flavors.
Stable, Release Candidate and Nightlie. Consider the nightlies beta releases; they aren't quite RCs, are most likely buggy and they're released so that folks can help the CM team find some glaring bugs before the RC is released.

The CyanogenMod team are constantly adding new features, testing new tweaks, and trying to fix bugs. They have set up "Build-Bots" which automatically build a new version of a the phone's ROM every night, using the latest "commits". Sometimes, there have been no changes "committed" to the build, so two nightlies can be exactly the same, because the Built-Bot keeps going.
Once they get to a place where the nightlies seem pretty stable, they will announce that the next one is a "Release Candidate" (RC). Many more people will install the RC version, because these tend to be more stable than the experimental "nightly" versions. There can still be bugs to work through, and the devs keep working, and the Build-Bot keeps churning out new nightlies.
After a couple of RC versions, and after the dev teams are comfortable that the bugs have been worked out, they will announce that the next build is the "Stable" version, which should be good for everyone. (Very rarely odd bugs will still creep in, but the CM team is quick to jump on them, and .1 releases will take care of those nasty bugs.)
They still keep working, tweaking and adding features, however. They probably won't stop tweaking CM7 until the Source Code for Android 4 (Ice Cream Sandwich) is released, at which point everyone will shift to CM9. (CM8 was going to be the "Honeycomb" version of Android, but that was only ever released on Tablets, so they're moving straight to Version 9.)
And there's my submission for NaMoWriMo.

CM6 RC is more stable as compared to a CM6 nightly which is experimental and unsupported.

Copy from CyanogenMod wiki
CyanogenMod comes in two types: Stable or Experimental.
* Stable versions are those where all known issues have been addressed and resolved.
* Experimental versions are those where new features are being added, modified, and tweaked, and there are known bugs that are being worked on; these minor versions that end with -test or -RC in the name are experimental in nature but less beta and more release candidate.
* Nightly builds are daily compiled builds from the source, therefore have the latest features & tweaks, but will are mostly likely to break due being fresh, not fully tested code.
Thanks so much, that cleared a lot of misconceptions I had.
On the day the RC is released, there is no difference in that and the corresponding day's nightly. The next day, the nightly gets updated with the newest code changes and the RC remains the same. Rinse and repeat until they decide the codebase is stable enough to warrant another RC or a final cut.

Why isn't there a 6.1 stable Cyanogenmod for the inc? There is for every other phone...
I hope it is stable, im runnin 6.1, invisiblek#16 kernel, with 9.01 radio, and this thing seems stable as hell, and fast, consistently over 1500 on quadrant. maybe its your settings, this thing just works for what I need, and the people here were really helpful.
CM is managed by different people for difference devices. Koush is responsible for CM for the DINC, so we have to wait until he approves 6.1 stable.
You can always get the latest nightly here: http://mirror.teamdouche.net/?device=inc
..which are currently very close to the 6.1 found on other devices.
I have been checking that site every day for the 6.1 stable, but I imagine it will be out very soon.
Yeah Donny, don't get me wrong, all the CMods I have ran in the past have always been "stable" per se, and I love 6.1 RC2, I was just wondering about the ACTUAL stable 6.1.
Yeah I know that they are managed by different people, so Koush hasn't approved 6.1 stable? Like, are there a few Inc specific bugs or something?
I'm not sure how the specific approval system works, but it may be possible there is an INC specific bug. It's also possible that the INC version is just as stable as the others.
If there's one thing I learned from CM is that the "Stable" version is not always actually stable. For example the current 6.0.2 stable is much more broken than the 6.1 RC2.
If you're using 6.1 RC2 then I would recommend using the latest nightly for now, I'm personally using 175 and it's been stable for me so far, I haven't found any bugs (knock on wood).
Since the versions are so similar, it is not necessary to data reset/clear cache every time you upgrade the OS, so it's not a big hassle to update it once the actual version comes out.
Yeah I'm using the nightlies now. They are cool! FYI, the Gingerbread theme for CM Nightly is awesome! haha
Hi. I was think of trying CyanogenMod ROM. I went to their download page and notice there is things like nightly, stable and RC. what does these 3 means? Hmm...

Nightlies are in constant development, so they are updated "nightly" and have the latest features and can also have some bugs. RCs are considered to be stable enough for everyday use, imo the nightlies are also as I've been using them almost since the launch of CM7 and haven't got any overwhelming problems. The stable ones are, well stable ones But the stable ones are CM6 and based on android 2.2 so they are "old" in that sense.
I would encourage you to try the CM7 RC2 or even the latest nightly as they really are great and you won't actually notice that it still is a work in progress
Stable - The latest stable release, the current 6.1.3 is froyo based and should be useable as a daily rom with no major bugs and very few minor bugs.
Release Candidate RC - This is a proposed release candidate (current one is Gingerbread based) for the next stable release, it should be stable enough to use as a daily rom (indeed I have had no problems running it), there may be a few major bugs and more minor bugs than you would find in the stable release.
Nightly - these are releases based on the latest release ( can be either based on stable or RC, currently based on RC2 ), aimed at adding new features, which may or may not work, or providing bug fixes to features already present (which again may or may not work).
Currently RC 2 is feature locked, therefore the nightlies are aimed at bugfixing or polishing features already present in preparation for the next stable release, As such the nightlies should improve upon the current RC, although it's not unknown for bugfixes to break functionality in a major way.
I can highly recommend CM7 RC2 with the Battery drain fix (#5) by mad-murdock.
I've been running it for the last 2 days, after coming from Android Revolution 3. It's fast, stable, and very light-weight.
Camera and video recorders work, however they're not quite as polished as the HTC versions.
Before the Battery drain fix, the battery life was terrible, however now it's better than Android Revolution.
Currently have 62% battery remaining, 13 hours after removing it from the charger.
OOO. Alright. THank you!

The thread with information and a link to #5 patch is here. I've been running that for several days and it's great even with the latest nightly build. There are a couple of caveats so reading the thread will help.

Any noticeable differences between RC2 and the latest nightly?
The only bug I've noticed with RC2 so far is the occasional freezing in landscape mode after finishing a call. Easily resolved by locking and unlocking the rotation though, so hasn't been an issue.

I haven't noticed any new issues that aren't already in RC2. And with Mad's #5 battery patch idle power consumption is about 1% per hour, but you can use that on RC2 too.

Will there be a cm 9 for the Inc? Because there is a lot of supported phones but not the Inc
I just need to flash something

Try kushdeck's ROM, I'm running it and it works great.

Kushdecks rom is pretty great. I ran the latest build for several days with no problem.
You guys both didn't answer the question, lmfao Are we getting dropped?
Technically there are no truly supported device for CM9 as they haven't even made any nightly releases. With that said, according to the official statement, QSD8250 devices (Nexus One, Inc, Evo4g) should be supported. That is planned but not definite.
http://www.cyanogenmod.com/blog/cm9-progress-update
Above is the official statement from CM. If you want CM9 support, CUViper is the CM maintainer for the Inc. Coming from a Galaxy Nexus user using AOSP, AOKP is a great ROM based on stock. CM9 is not really even ready on the GNex so I'd say they're still working on it. It's not as simple as a transition from froyo to gingerbread.
Evervolv ICS rom preview is better than omx and INC-Deck imo. I have a post on rootzwiki with everything you need, link to the rom, gapps and the exchange.apk fix

Haha, maybe I should just follow you around apophis and keep giving a +1 to Evervolv ICS p5
But seriously, best ICS rom out there right now IMHO
Hey a good rom is a good rom. Im not bashing other devs but the rom is the most complete at the moment. Since he only post updates on twitter i post everything everywhere i can so more people can have this awesome rom
I used to be a hard core cyanogenmod user and I recently switched over to MIUI which will be coming out with v4 soon
I am much happier with MIUI.. give it a try..
jss24,
Is MIUI v4 based upon ICS? Is there some place that gives info about what can be expected out it. I would like see what they are cooking up.
yes there is a CM9 in the works. most of the ICS builds that are out now for the phone are repo'ed from CM source.
I don't know if CM9 will get inc support but the kushdeck alpha 5 has the camera working now; so feel free to FLASH AWAY!! eh, eh, see what he did there?
There is already a CM9 release out for the INC, but I'm assuming it's very buggy and it is missing some important apps.
Here's the link:
http://rootzwiki.com/topic/10750-romunofficialcm9-with-working-hardware-acceleration/
Be sure to check further down the page for another download that's required in order to boot it up.
Not really a release more along the lines of a port. I dont believe it will have any more support
nope R2 pulled repo from cm so its not a port. they are work on it. we still have one maintainer left. CUViper. i have faith in him.
First line in r2s post says , so i ported cm9 to the inc earlier to see if hardware acceleration worked
Why would he say that if it wasnt a port?
Likely to be a port only, but that's where most of our great ROMs come from. These are called AOSP for a reason...
On another note, CCM7 (V10) is a great ROM to hold you off until ICS hits us in February, oops did I drop dates?
Oh well, I was going to post pictures of my setup, but I guess I am too new.
What is ccm7 v10? Where can it be found
Condemned cm7, ill pass
Hi all
Beside the ROMs by individual efforts from xda-devs, is there a timeline or a roadmap for the major ROMs (AOKP, CM, MIUI, etc)?
I searched Google long, and even went through Gerrit & similar trackers... even Wikis (which I should say is very outdated for some ROMs!) but nothing!
I know it takes some time to move into a new major update. Looking back into AOKP's release history it took them about a month to release JB Build 1 after the official release of the AOSP version
Anyone has any idea?
The poor kitties.
When they are ready they will be released, that is when they will be available. Could be soon, could be later.
No kidding!!
I know that "when it's out, it's out", I'm just asking... is there some kind of ETA?
I'm used to the Firefox & Ubuntu dev style, always having a detailed table of what to expect & when... I can't seem to find any of that with any ROM
